INTO ETERNITY Prepares For North American Tour With Iced Earth
Canadian progressive metal titans, INTO ETERNITY, kick off their
American touring cycle for The Incurable Tragedy on Sept. 21st with
genre leaders Iced Earth. The North American trek follows the album’s
Sept. 2nd release and fans can expect to hear a lot of new material from
the band’s first conceptual offering. Be sure to visit
www.myspace.com/officialintoeternity now to view their current touring
schedule.
Tim Roth (guitars, vocals) further comments: “Iced Earth is a band that
we have been waiting to tour with. I have been a fan since the early CM
days and even wore a shirt of theirs in our album sleeve of our Dead Or
Dreaming album. I know Justin Bender (guitars) even traveled to
Minneapolis to see the band years ago. It’s a 25 hour round trip, so he
has to be a fan! Ha!
“Playing with a band that you actually love makes all the touring we do
a lot more fun. It will be my first time ever seeing the band so I
personally can’t wait! A big thanks to Jon for giving us this chance. It
will be a perfect tour to kick start our new cycle in support of The
Incurable Tragedy. Fans can expect lots of fast drumming, high singing,
shredding solos and hate filled death vocals. We look forward to seeing
you all soon.”
INTO ETERNITY’s first concept album, The Incurable Tragedy, also marked
the first recording effort with Justin Bender (guitars) and Steve
Bolognese (drums), who came aboard shortly after the band finished
Gigantour ’06. This offering was inspired by the deaths of Roth’s two
best friends, brothers who succumbed to cancer within two months of one
another. To make matters worse, Roth’s father was diagnosed with cancer
as well. Showing no mercy, the disease claimed his life last year, just
10 days before Christmas.
Roth channeled his emotions into a moving and riveting album which is
sure to propel the band to new heights within the genre. The Incurable
Tragedy features a slew of tracks with the band’s trademarked heavy
grooves, stop-on-a-dime time changes, reflective lyrics, memorable
choruses, shredding solos, and vocals that range from guttural growls to
soaring harmonies. This album proves to be the perfect cure for those
suffering from a lack of progressive metal perfection and is sure to
rank upon many top ten year end lists.
